Over the past few weeks I have been trying to find my motivation for this life, what’s my next step, how am I going to motivate the world, what am I going to do to make a difference? I always see people on TV (Oprah) telling their story of how they raised money for a family in need and then they went on to raising money to help thousands of families in need, or the women whose child died because of an illness and now they have raised over a bajillian dollars to go towards the cure, or the people who started collecting books for a local library that turned into another bajillian books to help stock thousands of libraries across the country. What can I do, how am I going to make a difference in this world, where do I go, how do I start, and what the heck do I have to offer anyone anyway? It’s funny how life yells at you, how God gives you all the tools, but you can’t hear him because you are so caught up in trying to find the BIG game changer, you want to make a difference for the world because just making a difference for 1 person isn’t good enough, I mean come on it’s not Oprah worthy right? Well I just had my “ah haaaa” moment… “Play Ball!” to me means get ready to smell, feel, thrive, motivate, prepare, dominate, lose, fear, work, follow, lead, respect and play the sport that motivates every emotion that you have to become a champion on the field. I don’t just “play ball” on the field, I play it everywhere I go, I play it at work, I play it with my kids, I play it as my life is the field and I want to play the game to the best of my ability.
Over the past 4 years I have had the pleasure of becoming a private hitting instructor and have taught numerous kids the technique of hitting. At first it was a way for me to make money and continue to “stay in the game”, then I realized I loved to teach, then I became a mentor… and now I want to motivate the girls of this sport to “PLAY BALL” in this life. So here I am, doing what I wanted to skip out on… I am trying to mentor and motivate 1 person at a time. I figure that I have never been given the “easy way out” up to this point why would it start now. So I am going to take my 1 little person and run, and if Oprah was still making shows she would have to wait awhile…
